The reviews for Catering by Christine speak for themselves, they are fantastic!! There are so many parts to a wedding, but only a few are “critical” components necessary for success; catering is definitely one of them. Catering by Christine delivered in a big way to ensure that our wedding at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven was an enormous success. Our guests were full of compliments about the food, the presentation, the staff, everything.

We had a variety of foods that were all a huge hit from Chinese stir fry and past stations to the prime rib carving station, the hors d'oeuvres, soups that were to die for (lobster bisque and New England clam chowder), and a cheese spread that was devoured. The way they ran the serving stations was seamless – no lines, no gaggle of people, top notch efficiency!

The bartenders were competent and knew how to make a variety of drinks, offered several beer options, as well as our signature cocktail. There were never lines, the bartenders moved quickly and were often ahead of the game, remembering people’s orders from their previous drink. As the bride and groom, we were assigned personal butlers who made sure we were never hungry, never without a drink, and always catered to throughout the night.

Catering by Christine is a family run place, operated by Pete and his wife Christine. We worked with Pete for the majority of our experience and we were very pleased with his professionalism, ability and willingness to work with us on everything from price to food choices and recipes to all the little details we wouldn’t have even thought of without his guidance. We are forever grateful to Pete and his staff for delicious food and stellar service! We undoubtedly made the right choice with Catering by Christine. In the roughly ten months working with Pete, together we made a very memorable night for us and all of our guests and a friendship with Pete that will last beyond our wedding day.

I can't put into words how great everything went because of Pete and his teams hard work. Their staff was just so thoughtful and such hard workers. They paid close attention to details and made sure all the guests were happy and taken care of. I wouldn't trust anyone but Pete and his team to do any event for me. So thankful to have chosen them!

I can't thank Pete and Crissy enough for actually listening to what I envisioned and making it come together on our day. All the staff were so nice and warm to all the guests with a smile on their faces. It was so nice to be able to relax and actually enjoy my wedding day. All the staff made sure we had drinks in our hands and full stomachs when we left. Couldn't have asked for a better group of people to make my dream a reality. Thanks so much Pete, Crissy and staff, you made our day perfect.

Having planned our wedding for over two years and never fully being able to envision it, the day couldn't have gone better. After worrying and being reassured by Pete and Crissy to not worry, I could not thank them enough for what they did. Everything flowed perfectly from the delicious food to the sweetest servers ever, I could not be happier. Everyone paid such close attention to all the things I didn't even think about to make it all come together. Pete and Crissy went out of their way to review my ideas to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality caterer!!!

I would highly recommend them to anyone for any event!

Catering By Christine provided us with an exceptional experience that deserves a 10 star review. Our communications with Christine and her team were prompt and thorough from the start. We had the pleasure of meeting the staff and working through the logistics of how operations would be conducted on our wedding day. Christine also provided us with a variety of food tastings to gauge which options would best fit our needs.

Christine's emphasis on genuine emotion instead of the environment is what set's Catering By Christine apart from other catering and event planning companies. Our experience with this company was personable nothing short of professional. I would recommend their service to anyone looking to plan a very special wedding day.

We had our wedding last weekend and haven't stopped getting compliments on the food. Everyone was obsessed with the presentation of the appetizers and how delicious they were. There was plenty to go around and the staff was great and on top of everyone's needs. The main courses were plentiful and filled your entire plate. Also delicious. Then there's the bar not just a table in the corner but a big bar set up (looks like a bar) where the drinks flowed all night with anything you could want. Everyone loved being able to get their go to drink without having to settle for a substitute. I worked with Pete Biondi and he was great. He kept us at a comfortable figure when giving us a proposal and still gave us everything we wanted. We will always use Catering by Christine's for any event going forward.

Crissy, Pete, and staff did an absolutely stunning job at our wedding. They took what seemed like scattered ideas that seemed almost impossible and turned it into everything we were dreaming of. From the planning to the execution, everything was so easy and stress free. The staff was absolutely terrific. They were always smiling and a step ahead of me. The food that was served at the tasting is exactly how it was at the reception. Our guests are still raving about how great the food was. Thank you Crissy, Pete and staff for taking my ideas and making it the best day ever for us.
